Sample Rejection Letter

I would like to apologize for taking so long to write again. Like many Marketing Departments, we were fortunate enough to receive over one hundred seventy vitae for our single open position. We found ourselves working diligently up to the last moment in our attempts to sort through these applications and did not have the chance to contact you prior to the time our group took off for the A.M.A. meeting.

In any event, I want again to express my appreciation to you for considering Kent State University in your "evoked set" of schools. As things have worked out, at this time there does not appear to be an adequate fit between us. I will keep your vita on file in the event that things should change here at Kent. In the meantime, we wish you the best of luck with your career.
